Collision sensors stoped vehicle approx.15 feet short when backing into my carport.

Air dam malfunction causing truck to shut off

My truck is turning hard and is an issue driving. There are recalls for the same year and online states it has recalls for rams manufactured before 10-2018 and my truck was manufactured on 7-2018. I’m being told there is no recall. Why if dodge has an issue with power steering with those models like mine is my issue not covered . This is a major safety issue and is obviously related. I also had an issue with a recall with my back window leaking right after I bought this and again the vin number had no recall but was obviously an issue for these models for the year and make. Dodge needs to do better the steering issue could put someone’s life at risk not just my own!

The contact owns a 2019 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60-65 MPH another vehicle made an illegal u-turn causing traffic to abruptly stop, the brake pedal was depressed however the vehicle skidded and crashed into the rear of the vehicle in front. The contact mentioned that the vehicle crashed into also crashed into the rear of the vehicle in front. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed. Two occupants from the other vehicles involved sustained unknown injuries reported by the insurance company to the contact. The vehicle was taken to a collision center for cosmetic repairs. The contact noticed via the manufacturer's app that the license plate for the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V653000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) and took the vehicle to a dealer where the recall was no longer linked to the vehicle therefore the dealer declined the recall remedy. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the failure of the brakes. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, it was discovered that the windshield was fractured. The contact stated a large crack displayed on both sides of the windshield. No known impact occurred to cause the cracks. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

October 10, 2024, approximately 6:10AM PST. While accelerating on freeway on-ramp to merge into traffic that was also accelerating, the truck shifted the transmission into neutral. Vehicles behind truck had to swerve around my truck, while I stepped on brake pedal in the middle of accelerating traffic to be able to shift truck back into drive to continue onto freeway. This is not the first arbitrary shift into neutral from this truck. About a year and a half ago, it was happening regularly, until I cleaned the throttle body, then the arbitrary shifts into neutral stopped.

I got in my truck and once i turned it on a warning message popped up on the dash board saying power steering unavailable and gave me a red steering wheel sign. I put the truck in drive and the steering wheel did not move it was as if the truck was off. Its a huge safety risk because what if this happens while I am driving the vehicle and I lose power steering. Or if I have an emergency I cant drive my vehicle.

My vehicle started making a clicking noise and smelled like burning rubber. I took it to my local mechanic and my right exhaust manifold is cracked leaking co2 into the cab. This is on national back order because of the high demand for the parts. This is a national recall for similar parts on the same engine. I don't understand why this is not on recall as well.

Good morning, My vehicle was brought in based on a check engine light on or about August 6 2024. The vehicle is under full factory extended warranty. It has been in the shop for over two months awaiting parts. I have been told that a defective DPF is the problem, and the truck requires over $4600 in repairs. They claim none of this is covered by the "Bumper to bumper" warranty. I explained that the system never worked properly, that the truck only went into "Regeneration" one time. That is was serviced consistently by the dealership and is in perfect condition. So far, no replacement vehicle has been offered or provided. There was a summary judgement on these trucks and the sale was delayed pending correction of emissions problems. * I believe those problems were never addressed and this failure is widespread in the 2019 EcoDiesel RAM 1500. Further RAM has failed to maintain an adequate supply of spare parts to remedy a common failure in the vehicles. I was told there are currently 18 claims before mine. It merits consideration from NTSB that this judgment against RAM should be extended to 2019 vehicles, although they claimed to have: Fixed. them". I have written RAM, emailed the dealership, called customer service on numerous occasions and copies of letters are available on request.

While driving my 2019 RAM 1500 on 12 September 2024 my airbag warning light came on. Shortly thereafter I took my pickup to the RAM dealership's service department to ID the problem. The service manager looked at the airbag warning light and told me that the restraint system works in unison with the seat belt restraint system. So, while troubleshooting the restraint system she pulled on the seat belt multiple times. Each and every time she pulled it with various degrees of force the seat belt failed to lock. She told me that this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. She went on to say that failure to fix this issue can be very harmful for the driver in a collision where the seat belt restraint fails to lock. She recommended that the vehicle should not be driven until this safety issue is fixed.

My 2019 Ram 1500 is experiencing the exact same issues listed in recall 75B but my VIN number is not part of the recall. The symptoms that it is having are the exact ones listed in your recall from 9/11/24 concerning the ABS and stability control issues. It is very disheartening that there wasn’t a better investigation done on this issue either on your end or on Ram’s end. I’m sure there are plenty more vehicles that are affected that aren’t in this recall. My truck did it as I was going highway speeds (70mph) and the abs and stability control issues also disengaged my speed control as I was on the highway. It was a good thing there wasn’t another car behind me or I would have been struck from behind.

Brake module is not working traction control not working and cruise control not work because of brake module not working

Heated steering wheel failed. Components and/or wiring melted. This was discovered about 5 months ago and it took that long to get replacement parts because they were on back order. This is a common issue in RAM trucks. If you google you can find the issue in many different articles and Forums, yet no recall on it. Fix is over $1400. It believe the fix is changing a clock spring if it isn't already melted. Mine was melted. This is a long standing RAM issue with back ordered parts. It should be looked at as a recall. It's not a safety issue per say, but seems like a manufacturing defect that is very costly to the customer if they don't have extended warranty.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

Engine developed a ticking sound at idle. Turned out to be broken bolts on the exhaust manifolds which could have caused carbon monoxide to leak into cab of truck.

Many vehicles have the exhaust manifolds Crack. Yes it is available for inspection. This could be leaking CO in the cabin of the vehicle. I have talked to the dealership and they confirmed they have many vehicles coming in for exhaust manifold replacements due to them cracking. The vehicle has not actually been inspected by the dealership but exhaust can be smelt from the front of the vehicle. No warning lamps but exhaust is present in the engine bay

The contact owns a 2019 RAM 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V653000(Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Electronic Stability Control); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal made an abnormal sound. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle at the residence. The mechanic determined that the vehicle failed to start because it did not recognize that the brake pedal was being depressed. The mechanic related the failure to the recall. The local dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

While driving at various speeds, the instrument cluster has malfunctioned on several occasions. The speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant gauge, oil pressure gauge, battery charge gauge, and fuel gage go to "0" while the center information panel begins to cycle through what seems to be all available messages like "Service Power Steering", "Service Electronic Stability Control", "Service Park Brake", "Service Tire Pressure System", "Service Transmission, Continue in D. Do Not Shift or Turn Engine Off", etc. The current mileage windows shows "NO BUS". Sometime the indicator light on the shift selector would go dark, but not always. In most cases, these instrument cluster returns to normal operation, but the issue will resurface in a few days, especially when the ambient temperature is greater than 95F. I took the vehicle to the Griffith/Gunn Dodge Dealership in Seguin, Tx and they "reprogrammed all modules" and stated that the problem was resolved. It wasn't. I returned and got a full refund. This is a known issue and has been documented on many Dodge Ram forums across many year models of trucks. However, no recall has been issued for this extraordinarily dangerous situation. It is unclear if the problem resides in the instrument cluster, the ECM, or wire harness. I urge the NHTSA to force Dodge to recall vehicles with a known issue. I have a video of the issue while traveling 75 mph.

I am experience an Antilock Braking System ('ABS') control module software malfunction that disable the Electronic Stability Control ('ESC') system.” There has been a recall but my VIN number was not included. I have taken my truck to a mechanic several times but they are not able to identify the problem. This is an intermittent problem that occurs and can remain disable for weeks.

The truck only has 42,529 miles on it and oil pan is rotted/rusty and starting to leak oil

The rear backup camera either shows a blue screen when the vehicle is put into reverse, or a black screen with the lines for backup guidance. Other times the camera works as intended.

Truck takes itself out of gear and goes into Neutral stalling the engine while driving you have to place it in park and restart. Normally happened at slower speeds, turning in an intersection/ slowing to enter a parking lot, accelerating onto ramp. Took it in and couldn't find an issue.said could be a door sensor maybe?

I was driving my 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn (60,000 miles) when the wiper blades came on and every possible warning light and error message came on in my truck. I was able to pull over before i crashed. The wipers and warnings lights would not stop, and after that the vehicle shut off by itself. Before this incident the car was taken to University Dodge in Plantation, Fl with a concern of a couple of lights on in my dashboard and to complete a recall, car was given to me after a week and they said everything was fine and the computer was re-setted. A week after, this nightmare happened... and once again I took the car to the dealer, this time they told me that they had to replace the battery and one of the sensors. Today i picked the vehicle and after 20 minutes driving, all the lights came on again and this time the car don't shut off but lost power in the middle of the road putting in risk my life and the car drivers life next to me. After 3 visits to the Dealer this issue is not being resolved.

Electronic power steering has failed with no previous warning signs. I was driving down the road on the highway when the power steering warning light came on all of a sudden and staring was extremely difficult. Power steering temporarily began working again, but within 10 minutes further down the road it went off again, making it very difficult to turn this truck during any turns.

The transfer case warps unproportionary on one side without any type of driver error or reason. There isn't a correct seal which causes water and damage which ultimately damages the cv axel as well . Was checked out by garage and plan on taking to dealer. Temporary fix but needs replaced completely after only 90000 miles.

Rear window sliding window frame cracked in two places. Known issue that Ram is fixing for some owners with same model and year vehicle but will not apply extended warranty to my vehicle.

Chime comes on. Then displays parksense temporarily unavailable. Then a few seconds later another chime and a display come on and reads service shifter. And if my cruise control is on the vehicle disengages the cruise control. When this happens occasionally will disengage the transmission and I will have to pull over and shut the vehicle off then start it back off. Then it will let me put it back in gear. When the vehicle will also start up sometimes and the shifter will not let me put it in gear. Then I’ll shut it down. Restart it then it will be ok. The vehicle has been in Ram service department 4 times. Twice in Nevada and twice in California. They haven’t been able to rectify the problem. The first time in the shop was back in May. The last time was in August. And it’s going back in Sept 10 th.

2019 Doge ram 1500 quad cab- the engine completely and immediately froze up and locked all tires in the middle of a busy 2 lane street- sounded like only 2 of the 8 pistons were barely firing, was told my engine was "toast-it sucked a valve"! I am an old school mechanic so I take care of every aspect of my truck regularly by professional mechanics- how can a truck not even 5 yrs old with payments still owed have so many issues and now if completely trash? In addition, I have had computer issues, rear camera issues, the side mirror just fell off on its own.....so many issues with this model. How can a dealership and a manufacturer legally sell such a piece of junk? Is there any recourse? Law suit- class action or individual ? I am deseperate for help- I was nearly killed on this street when it all happened- the engine completely died-battery drained-back tires locked up all in an instant while driving 30 mph.

My 2019 Ram 1500 Classic came with the optional 20" tires and rims. Had a flat and when the spare was taken down it was only a 18" not a 20". This spare should match the other wheels and tires to drive safely. Yes Rams can come with 17" or 18" but when you upgrade with the option should the spare be as well. This is a recall on other Rams but not mine, please look into this.

My 2019 ram classic 1500 Lonestar. I had to hit my brakes firmly to avoid an accident and my truck went into a skid. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I limped the truck to my mechanic and after they diagnosed it, they said my ABS module failed and is now leaking brake fluid. he contacted the dealership and they refused to sell the new ABS module to anyone because they have recognized. There is a problem with the current 1 and it is being re-engineered at a later date. So I had to buy a used one and had my mechanic install it And now I have another faulty ABS module on my truck and I am worried if I get into a situation that I have to hit my brakes hard I am going to skid again and possibly get into an accident causing bodily harm or fatality. I called myself and they said they cannot sell it to anyone at this time.

Dashboard leather has completely delaminated. High bubbling and excess material causing poor viability and obstruction. Ram will not repair.

Power steering unavailable pops up on dash while driving. truck steering locks up was able to pull truck off the main highway on the shoulder call a tow truck

Around 40,000 miles, the digital display on the information cluster of my 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn started to go blank intermittently. Sometimes for long periods, sometimes for only a few minutes. Over time the display would only work once a week. Now at just over 50,000 the information will not display at all. Occasionally I would hear a tone, but because the display is blank I am unable to know what the tone was in regards to. It may have been something safety related or just low fuel or something else minor. It has not been looked at by the dealer. At my last visit to the dealer I asked about it and was simply told it was around $1,300 to replace. No other inspections by any other entity. No warnings prior to each failure.

The parksense system on the vehicle becomes defective over time. My vehicle does not have parking assistance but I get a chime and screen message that "parksense unavailable" every minute or two when driving. There is also a "service shifter" warning simultaneously. I've taken it a dealer for repair several times and they're unable to address it. Upon searching forums for this issue I found it's unbelievably common. Ram has been unable to repair this issue for ~a year of it happening.

Driving going to freeway going speed limit 55mph then my truck started beeping and warning light came up on dashboard Power steering unavailable. I was able to slow down and part the truck. Disconnect the battery for 30 mins to reset system code still there. Had my truck towed home

Hello, I was driving on Highway 99 three days ago and my truck came to an abrupt halt after making some horrible engine noises. I hadn’t been driving my truck because it won’t pass smog due to check engine light on. I had taken it to a dealer in Lodi Dodge Dealer and they Did one recall on the fuel injector pump. I’m still not positive. What happened but I strongly believe after Research that the magnetic strip for cam timing failed. I’m trying to find an independent Agency that looks into things like this as I do not trust the dealer for a couple reasons. Not saying it here. Anyway, if you have any idea how I should move forward after that frightening experience losing all power to my truck, the dash turned red, no oil pressure no anything is what it was saying. I was able to get a tow truck to bring the vehicle to my home where it sits now and it’s been two months since I’ve really had a vehicle. I had to make an emergency run to get two bales of hay for my animals. I paid the registration, but I don’t have the tags because it will not pass smog.

Exhaust manifold bolts broke off on my 2019 Ram 1500. Dealership said it’s a known problem affecting all models.

2 cracks by the back sliding glass window, water seeps in and get on the head liner and in cabin causing water to get all over.causing damages.

My steers assist failed so I had it replaced by dealership 6/14/24, Now here it is 8/16/24 truck has to go back to dealership to have it replaced again.

2 cracks near the rear sliding glass window allows water in the cabin. As a result, there is visible water damage on the headliner.

Came to a stop on the highway, truck decides to stall. A/C and radio stayed active, but engine stopped. Had to put vehicle in park and press the start button. Luckily it started back up but not something anyone should have to deal with. Standard 5.7 Hemi, no E-torque. At this point, no clue what caused the issue.

The side view mirror motors/gears malfunction and intermittently fail to hold the mirrors in position when driving after the have been folded in them back out, either manually or electronically.

I am receiving a warning light that reads: Service Shifter, Park sense not available, warning with no display, and the vehicle shifts from drive to neutral with a display message to put the truck in Park then shift to Drive while in motion. My safety is put at risk because when driving I have no warning the vehicle is going to shift itself into neutral and vehicles are driving behind me. I have to make a complete stop because I cannot accelerate in neutral. It has happened twice on a busy street in my city. I took the truck to Sierra RAM and they had the vehicle for 4-days and advised they could not replicate the issue. I drove off and immediately the Service Shifter warning came on. This is my second opinion the first dealer Envision RAM advised it is a software issue causing the warning lights to come on. I called RAM the manufacturer and they said to take it to a different dealership, and I did. NO others have checked the vehicle. I tried for RAM to come to dealership, I had a rep assisting me and they declined. There were warning lights coming on first time in April 2024, and I immediately called Envision RAM and took the truck into service. I drove off and the warning lights continued although I took the vehicle twice to Envision RAM they took my money and said it is fixed and it was not.

The instrument cluster is having intermittent issues where it does not work and when it is not working it does not display essential vehicle information.
